Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that acts an employer for a client company’s workers. Services include but are not limited to payroll processing, employment contracts, tax and social security compliance, and statutory benefits administration. EORs allow businesses to expand quickly into new countries without establishing a local entity, while ensuring employees remain fully compliant with local labour laws.
How is an EOR different from a PEO (Professional Employer Organisation)?
A PEO co-employs staff with a registered local entity, while an EOR can employ staff directly without the client needing to set up a legal entity in the country.
Why should I use an EOR in Africa?
EORs simplify market entry by handling employment compliance, payroll, and HR administration across multiple African countries, where regulations can be complex and vary significantly.
Can I onboard employees in Africa without setting up a local company?
Yes, with an EOR you can onboard and pay employees legally without creating a local entity.
How fast can I onboard employees through an EOR in Africa?
The onboarding timeline depends on the specific country’s legal and administrative requirements, but in most cases, employees can be onboarded within a couple of weeks.
